The 1966 UK mono Revolver on Parlophone PMC 7009 has the yellow-and-black Parlophone label with the EMI rim text and 'Sold in U.K.' price-conditions wording. The Klaus Voormann collage sleeve was litho-printed with fine pen-and-ink line detail and a flipback rear. The earliest mono pressings (with the famous unique 'Tomorrow Never Knows' mix on XEX 606-1) are the most sought-after state.
Matrix / Runout
Mono firsts carry XEX 605-1 / XEX 606-1 (the early TNK mix) hand-etched with tax codes; stereo reads PCS 7009 / PPCS matrices. Fakes use uniform machine matrices and lack the hand-stamped codes.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
The Voormann line-art on the cover looks coarse or dot-screened under a loupe; the genuine sleeve reproduces fine continuous pen strokes, not a pixelated reprint.
- 2
The label rim text and 'Parlophone' logo are too thick or slightly off-centre — original EMI labels are precisely registered with a crisp serif.
- 3
The mono runout shows a typeset matrix rather than the hand-etched XEX 605/606 with EMI tax stamps and mother/stamper codes.
